How easy should it be to wipe off Optimum Polish

I just tried out my Optimum Polish and after using the PC for approx 2 min of polishing a 1.5 x 1.5 foot area I removed with a buffing Concurs towel and found that it didn't remove easily like a wax would when it's totally dry. Does this mean that I'm not letting the polish break down enough or maybe I'm using too much polish.

I used the blue propel pad with OP using a good amount of pressure then on the last few passes about 30 seconds worth I lightened up on my pressure.

Or is it normal that the OP takes a little while to buff out completely?

Thanks

I think you are using too much. It should finish out nearly clear with very little residue.

I've never had a problem with removing OP. As ^ said, try less product next time.

As I said answering your other-same post, use significantly less, and use its ability to go forever. When you apply the correct amount, it is very easy to remove. The amount you saw on the pad in the other thread covers at least a half hood on a midsize car.
